All the in-law and parent problems

Hi everyone, there have been so many posts about issues with in-laws and parents crossing boundaries. I have been having my own issues with both sets of parents and completely feel for everyone having these problems. I can't believe how inconsiderate, childish and selfish some of them are being. I have just made a promise to myself that when I am old and my lo is all grown up and having children of his own I am going to remember how this feels and do everything I can to be supportive and respectful of him and his family without interfering. I can't believe that all our parents/in-laws have forgotten what is like to be new parents!

I agree!!! I am lucky in that my inlaws live more than an hour away and don't like to drive. My own parents have already told me that they know what it's like and that they plan to only come over if we ask them to. I think, in our case, the problem is going to be friends who want to come over. :)

They completely forget! Lol my mom, who has b*tched about her mil forever, despite beig divorced now for over 20 years, was just telling me how she needed to have a word to my sisters DH about how a husband should behave. I was like "really, mum? You've been divorced for 20 years and this is NONE of your business" she seems to think it's different because her mil was a b*tch, but she's only trying to help. She's out of her darned mind
